    Why can’t you melt all the cottage cheese in a water bath at once and then divide it into 3 parts?

      It's melting, maybe they didn't add enough soda. I personally made it in a saucepan directly on the fire, without a water bath.

    I made it, it tasted good, but it didn’t look like real hard cheese at all. Boiled is softer and there is no pronounced taste of real cheese

    The cottage cheese must be at least 9%. It won’t work with 5%.
